Calendula officinalis

Item #1313

Annual. Oopsy Daisy is a dwarf calendula with
a profusion of brilliantly colored, single
and double, orange, cream, and yellow
blossoms with fiery orange tips. For a
gorgeous combination, pair with short blue
or purple spring-blooming annuals like
alyssum, lobelia, and violas in a container,
along a path, or in a garden bed. In the
kitchen, the edible petals add bright color
when used as a garnish, in salads, egg
dishes, or on top of hors d'oeuvres. Also
called Pot Marigold. Deer resistant.
